    I too was looking for reviews on Barton's Acid Reflux solution. I came across a website that FOR FREE has some very good information
    on the subject. chrisskresser.com He has a series of 6 very informative articles on the subject, including natural remedies. I have decided against purchasing the Barton series. He sounded so kind and caring in the beginning, and then BAM the scare tactics come. That is just a huge turn off for me!

    I obviously had no clue what I was doing! Sorry for the 4 repeat posts!

    Hi. I wish I had done a little research before purchasing the Barton acid reflux remedy for $50 (which I have yet to receive and am wondering if I am ever going to get it after 3 weeks) However, I have to say that I have been eating an apple every day with great success! I was very skeptical at first but my heartburn was getting so bad that I was desperate to try anything and was truly amazed. For me, the apple worked and I have been eating an apple everyday for the past 3 weeks and have not had any heartburn. Like many, I was certain that if just drinking water made my heartburn worse, then an apple certainly wouldn't help, but it did. And it doesn't matter what kind of apple. I just buy whatever is on sale and buy enough apples for one week. For me, it doesn't matter what time of day I eat the apple. Sometimes I eat my apple in the morning as a mid-morning snack, sometimes I eat it as a an evening snack, but as long as I eat it sometime during the day, I don't have any heartburn. Perhaps, my heartburn is mild compared to others, but the apple a day works for me. Maybe there is some truth to the old adage: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away!" If you haven't tried it - give it a try, you may be surprised and good luck!

    Slick Marketing, but before I bite on the apple, I wanted check it out, and this is how I found this site. Thanks for the feedback. There is a bit of fear tactic used by Bob Barton, referring to FDA report regard "C-Diff". This can be disconcerting for suffers using Rx for their problem. Does anyone know anything about this?

    Hi there,

    I think there is a proven increase risk of getting clostridium whilst on ppis. However, picking up clostridium in the community is not thought to be associated with taking ppis. So I wouldn't worry too much about it unless you have to go in hospital or visit someone in hospital, especially on a care of the elderly ward, where you are more likely to pick it up.

    Despite the theoretical risk we don't seem to have lots of members saying they've got clostridium infection - seeing as this is an old thread, why don't you start a new thread of your own asking for people to say if they've had clostridium whilst on ppis?

    I worried about listeria for a while but despite the theoretical risk for that, we seem not to have a problem. I am very very careful with handling raw meat in the home and make sure all meat is very well cooked through though.

    Hope that helps,

    MMM

    Tammy, didn't you read Lucy's entire statement?

    SHE, as it seems that No one has tried the Barton Publishing Cure, BUT...everyone & they have NO MEDICAL TRAINING, but... they says,

    "Don't Try It!"

    This is like Most Medical Doctors who who are the Brain-Washed Drug Pushers for the Drug Companies pooh-pooh High Dosage Intravenus Vitamin "C" even though this has been proven by Several Medical Doctors Long, Long ago, including by Dr. Frederick Klenner in the 1940's that it will CURE ALMOST EVERY DISEASE, INCLUDING NON-DISEASE OF VENOMOUS SNAKE & SPYDER BITES which was Published in Major Medical Journals. 

     Also by Dr. Thomas E. Levy MD JD

    (that means: Medical Doctor & Juris Doctorate as an attorney) who's book "PRIMAL PANACEA,"  WILL Give You Knowledge you certainly don't have, but NEED, before you speak out anymore Without Any Knowledge.

    Put the name of Allan Smith of New Zealand who was on his "DeathBed" in a Coma, but on Life Support Systems equipment & all the doctors in the hospital treating him told Mr. Smith's Family to "Take Him Off Life Support & Let Him Die." Drug Companies & their BrainWashed Doctorss seem to prefer to let you die, rather than give a patient "Intravenus High Dosage Vitamin "C", because Drug Companies CANNOT PATENT VITAMINS & THEREFORE CANNOT MAKE ANY MONEY FORM VITAMIN "C", ETC...

    GAIN KNOWLEDGE PEOPLE, BEFORE YOU SPEW-OUT MISINFORMATION!

    Also, right NOW the ebook  information is only $19.95+s&h.

    I also have the 60 minute DVD about Allan Smith which cost me $3.00 

    It isn't hard to seek TRUTH, IF you're not too LAZY! nono    smilewinkgrin yeah

    My Grandfather was diagnosed with stomach cancer when I was 13 and had 75% of his stomach removed. For years after that he drank aloe vera juice. I had forgotten about that until I read this thread. I received the email from Joe Barton explaining his treatment and cure for acid reflux and was considering trying the apple thing first to see if it had any affect. However I may try the aloe vera juice like my grandpa lived on for years. I remember it was nasty, but I guess when you are in pain you will do anything. :-)

    George's aloe Vera is tasteless, looks like water. Very easy to take, and does not contain citric acid. (This is not an advertisement for this product which is easily available in health food stores). Several people on this forum talk about this product being helpful.

    Hello, I am new to this Forum business but I had to reply to a post I saw concerning Joe Bartons reflux cures. I tried the apple remedy and I am not kidding the effect was almost instantaneous, the feeling of bloating and anticipation of later pain was gone . I have not bought any of his books or any of the downloads all I saw on the E-mail was the apple thing and when I tried it , it was like magic. For years ( maybe twenty ) I have had all sorts of problems with my digestion, initialy I cured all the heartburn type symtoms with crystalised ginger but as I got older the problems started to increase and now I have no teeth to chew the apple so it has to be pureed but the effect is still the same , I say again the apple fixed up my pain ( which was most of the time horrendous ) so I will be continuing this treatment indefinately . I will still need to see a G.P. to ascertain whether or not it is Hiatus Hernia or something else.

    Greetings all . Gerry hit the nail on the head , if you are not an expert it is better not to judge too harshly. Some of these remedies may seem a little too easy so try them and see what happens . My family and I have been doing so for more than twenty years now starting with coloidal minerals and silver with definite results .....Thank you and anon..Phineas. cry

    Hi, say all your comments on here about gerd, acid reflux and Joe Barton's program. Looks like he uses some truth with not so much truth. If you want to heal your body you "must" change your food and learn to eat slowly. This IS the reason why people have acid reflux. You can google and put together many "bandaids" that can and do "help" but to cure you must change your diet for good to a RAW foods diet. You also need to learn how to and apply DAILY meditation and exercise of an hour "each". If you have severe health problems you will need to go 100% raw and be patient. You wrecked your health over years with poor diet and habits and it may very well take years to reverse it. This is FREE information that does and WILL work. Go on youtube to watch many vids on how to prepare raw foods (raw=veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds) Stay away from ALL breads, rice, sugar and cooked foods. If your pretty healthy and only have moderate gerd you can eat about 30% cooked foods and lean low chain meats (fish & chicken) 3X a week only max. Best to not eat meat but as long as it's organic should be ok. Make a diary of your daily progress and stick to it for results. You WILL get a lot of good results in the beginning but if your body is "toxic" from years of bad food, eating fast, pills, booze, cigs, drugs etc you will need to realize that it will take much longer. You must rid your body of ALL toxins..ALL for the body to heal...Good luck! :)

    I was rather naive, and purchased Bob Barton's report online. I followed his instructions completely for 3 months, and had no relief. I have had chronic GERD for 2 yrs and have daily symptons (throat burn) despite being on 40 mg. Nexium 2x/day. I have also tried 4 different PPI's prior to Nexium. I have had 2 endoscopies. Both showed chronic esophagitis, chronic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia. I was desparate to try a "natural" remedy, but unfortunately, it did not work for me.

    I am considering having the Esophyx procedure done. Has anyone had this procedure or know someone that tried it?

    Hi Roseanne99, I had Esophyx surgery done 1 yr ago, it worked for 1 1/2 months and then it went back to the way it was before....I had endoscopy done lately and it says that I have an unusual Esophyx...I have to be always so careful, if I don't take the pill first thing in the morning before food, I will be in trouble later...but I know that I have severe stomach pains, many times after that have the bowel movement and throwing up at the same time, not fun when you are somewhere at the store and there is no waste basket to grab while sitting down...I know that those pills are killing my stomach and bowels too, I have to look for natural remedy, I want to live a long life...Blessings to you and try your best to get away from it the way I will do it too,, all the best to you!

    Talk to your doctor about changing your Nexium to another PPI (or upping your Nexium), sometimes your system builds up a resistance. You really have to be diligent with changing your diet, and keep a food diary to try and pinpoint your trigger foods. You can also try Pepcid before bedtime. If you are considering surgery, I would only have it as a last resort and get a second opinion. I had the NIssen Fundoplication surgery, and althought it was completely successful, it can be a slow and difficult recovery. My surgeon also told me that I would lose my ability to belch as I had before and vomit - which weren't deal breakers for me. It took me 6 months to start to feel better, and almost a year until I felt like the "New" me. Also you are replying to a post that is over 6 years old, and your probably won't get many responses. Please start your own topic.
